The Greatest Sinner

Whoosh.

The two wind blades headed toward Chloe, and Evan attacked at the same time. Because of Chloe's interference, he was unable to knock Lewis out quickly, so he decided to deal with the girl first.

His combined attack with Gerda should not have left Chloe a chance to win. The girl was just as well aware of that, but she was capable of defending herself even against such an attack.

Whoosh.

Evan instantly approached Chloe and swung his scythe at her. At the same moment, the wind blades were quite close. Chloe turned and attacked Evan. It was hard for the young man to bear the weight of her weapon, but now Chloe was defenseless.

Whoosh.

The girl put more strength in and was able to hold the sword with one hand, she bent her free hand and her "Warp" spun. The next moment a thick and very strong layer of stone began to appear on her arm.

Bam. Bam.

Two wind blades slammed into her arm, but to everyone's surprise, it didn't hurt her. The stone debris fell to the ground with a rumble, but her hand was unharmed.

<Damn, so she's the kind of person who's completely focused on defense, she's going to be hard to deal with.>

Evan thought to himself and threw another punch, which Chloe quickly blocked. Of all the people Evan wanted to fight, Chloe was one of the toughest opponents. Even if he won, he would spend a great deal of strength and mana trying to penetrate her armor. Moreover, despite her incredible defense, the girl moved quite fast. She hadn't missed any Evan's punch yet.

Evan didn't want to waste much mana, he had already used "Magic Missile" and "Ice Veil". If he didn't watch his mana supply, he might not have any mana at all by the third stage.

<Hmm, Gerda has already used so many spells, how do we beat them quickly?>

Evan attacked Chloe time after time, but none of his attacks reached the girl. Lewis couldn't stop him, since he was fighting Gerda.

<It looks like we'll have to take our chances after all.> Evan thought to himself and at the same moment his "Warp" spun.

Whoosh.

A green magic circle appeared behind Chloe, and a second later an ivy vine enveloped the girl's leg. The ivy dragged the girl with force, causing her to fall to the ground.

Evan was already beside her, but to Chloe's surprise, he didn't attack her. Evan chose another target, namely Lewis.

Seeing Evan coming at him, Lewis quickly cast one of his spells. Two thick roots rushed towards Evan, but they couldn't stop him for a second.

Swing.

Evan swung the scythe and the snow-white blade sliced the roots into several pieces. Lewis tried to defend himself somehow, but he didn't have the right spells for it. There was nothing he could do against Evan at this distance.

Whoosh.

The scythe blade rushed toward Lewis and made a wide cut on his chest. The wound immediately bled, and Lewis fell to the ground, trying to stop the bleeding.

Within seconds, Golem appeared beside Lewis and quickly carried him away. Chloe was left alone against the two and Gerda was about to attack, but Evan stopped her.

"Don't be, she'll run off with her tail between her legs now, won't she?" Evan said with a cocky smirk looking at the angry Chloe.

She said nothing and quickly ran off into the steam. She was infuriated by the situation. Instead of getting rid of her main rival, she had lost her comrade and was considerably weakened. Their attack turned out to be a real failure.

Initially, Evan didn't want to fight, but he had to, he wasn't looking for a way to defeat Chloe and Lewis. He needed to end this fight as quickly as possible and with little loss of strength or mana. For the same reason, he attacked Lewis in the first place, forcing Chloe to retreat.

If Evan would have done otherwise and tried to kill Chloe, he would not have succeeded. No matter, whom he attacked, the result would have been the same - the other opponent would have fled, so it was necessary to attack the more vulnerable opponent.

"Phew, that was dangerous, I hope no one else attacks us, I have very little mana left." Gerda said tiredly.

Evan nodded: "Yes, unfortunately something like that had to happen sooner or later."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the ground shook. Evan knew at once that the area was about to change again.

The ground cracked in many places and huge roots emerged from the cracks, they were much larger than those blocks of ice in the first stage.

"Oh, it looks like this is just the beginning." Said Evan as he watched the torrents of water rushing at them from all sides.

The geysers were instantly extinguished, but the huge waves could easily kill the students.

Whoosh.

Evan realized it was dangerous to stay where he was, so he ran quickly to the nearest root. Gerda immediately ran after him.

Climbing up the root was no problem at all. It grew at an angle that was just big enough that they could just jump on it and keep running upward.

When Evan got to the top of the root he looked around and thought to himself, <Everything's flooded and there's no way to fight below until the arena changes again. Well, these roots are big enough not only to rest on, but to attack someone.>

All of the monsters from the second stage had already been killed. When Chloe and Lewis attacked them, there were only a few monsters left.

While Evan was thinking, new monsters appeared in the area, to his surprise there were only five, but they looked very formidable. They were large, five-foot tall Ogres. Their skin was as strong as steel, and their every step left a deep mark on the ground. Each monster had a different weapon in his hand, some with a club, some with an axe, a hammer, and others.

Gerda looked at the Ogres and said: "They are certainly very big, but they look slow and not so dangerous. What's more, there are only five of them, and they can't even get to us. I think the third stage is very easy."

Evan shook his head and said calmly: "You are mistaken. Those streams of water would kill the other monsters instantly, but these ones don't care at all, they just keep going. I agree that staying on the roots is safe, but it's only temporary, look."

Evan pointed toward the monsters. They moved slowly toward one root. From afar, Evan could see that there was one person there.

Bam.

An ogre with a huge axe came up to the root and started chopping at it as hard as it could.
